The Rhitriton+ Vegan Multivitamin is ‘Brilliance, Bottled’
Rhiannon Lambert UK’s leading Nutritionist created Rhitrition+. Her clients come to her in the clinic with long lists of supplements they are taking and she tells them they they don’t need all of this. Her advice is there are actually only a few supplements we should be taking, depending on your stage of life and lifestyle e.g. if you are pregnant or follow a vegan diet.
Before establishing Rhitrition+, Rhiannon always knew when recommending supplements to clients which ones were better, but it always felt like which is the lesser of the evils.
When she used to look for supplements during COVID, before Rhitrition+, she was shocked at what they were putting into them – sugar, palm oil, low-quality ingredients. On top of this, they didn’t contain the correct dose, they were unrecyclable. She sat down and thought, to use her time wisely to create a supplement company that provides evidence-based supplements containing only what you actually need.
Rhiannon thought what if she can make a company that’s sustainably sourced, high quality, recyclable and only contains a small range of supplements that will actually help people.
The Rhitriton+ Vegan Multivitamin is ‘brilliance, bottled,’ supporting a vegan diet with four key nutrients: Vitamin B12, Iron, Iodine, and Selenium.
This multi is formulated with 4 essential micronutrients that can be difficult to get from a vegan diet alone, it’s your source of complete confidence in your vegan diet.
- Vitamin B12 is vital for the proper functioning of your nervous system. This vital vitamin is primarily found in animal products as plants neither need, nor synthesise, vitamin B12.
- Iodine supports cognitive function, while also contributing to the maintenance of healthy skin and thyroid function. Plant-based sources of iron (non-heme iron) are less readily absorbed by the body compared to the heme iron found in animal products, therefore it can be difficult to get enough of this mineral on a vegan diet.
- Selenium helps bolster your immune system and supports normal spermatogenesis, while guarding against oxidative damage to your cells and tissues. Although it can be found in varying amounts in plant foods, the amount of selenium in plant foods is inconsistent as it largely depends on the soil content.
- Iron plays a pivotal role in reducing tiredness and fatigue, supporting cognitive function, and aiding in the formation of red blood cells. Dietary iodine is primarily found in animal sources such as seafood, eggs and dairy, which leaves vegans susceptible to deficiency.
